very seldom offered, the property being
thrown on the market to the highest bidder.
A very large attendance will witness the sale,
and the bidding will no doubt be very spirited.

law for swindling, and after trial was
sent to Moyamensing Prison, serving a
term of seven months. In the spring of
1888 she returned to this city and opened
a brokerage office on Thirty
street, near Broadway. The following
year she was again arrested for having
swindled large number of ladies out of
sums of money ranging from 5000 to
$500 each on bogus stock operations, and
after three trials, she having appealed
her case twice, the Court of Appeals
finally concurred in the decision OF the
lower court and she was sentenced to
two years Imprisonment. She has only
been out of prison eight months.-Ne'r

The Royal Society of London fur
nishes some interesting examples Of the
longevity of men distinguished for scien-
titic work The average age of the four
teen Fellows who died during the past
year was seventy-fve years, the youngest
DR.. Wilson Fox-being tifty-six, and
the oldest-Admiral Denham and DR..
Richard Quain-being eightyseven.
Contrary to general opinion, leprosy
is spreading rapidly, according to DR.,
Besner, of the Paris Academy of Medi-
cine. French colonists are fast falling
victims. Physicians everywhere are
urged to seek a means of abating its
ravages. The disease is transmitted by
a bacillus resembling that of consump-
ton.
Since the first appearance of the great
red spot on the planet Jupiter, some nine
years ago, Mr.. W. F. Denning, the we'll
known English astronomer, has made
about three hundred observations of the
phenomenon. He believes the red spot
to be feature of .Jupiter's atmosphere,
and not of the surface of the planet.

Professor Won Hippel has shown to the

his second success in grating the rabbit s
cornea into the human eye. The patient s
visual power with the new eye is about
one-tenth OF the normal, and coarse print

From an examination of 100000 per

manufactures, especially spinners, are
inferior to other working men in stature

The plating of microscopes with plat
mum by the new electric process has
been found to be a great advantage, the
instruments being thus protected from
cOrrosion. The cost is said to be about
that of silver-plating.
In English collieries, roburite has

PUSHING WOMEN.
How They PUSH Whom They Push and
Why They Push.

The world is full of pushing women,
who, not satisfied with the goods the gods
have provided, are still reaching after
something else. 1t does not follow that
they are poor or obscure they
may drive in their carriages, have
their names bruited about in every
daily fashion report, live in ease
and luxury, but still, if their nature
is pushing, push they WILL and will not
be happy in any condition, even upon a
throne. To be sure, the pushing woman
is usually far from the celebrity which
she covets. She usually begins by push
ing for the necessaries of her existence,
or those things which she believes to
be necessaries-society, excitement,
and ducats. To get herself recognized,
in whatever vocation she chooses-if she
goes in for literature, she pushes herself
into the foremost ranks, not always by
virtue of her merits, but by sheer per-
sistence, pertinacity and audacity ; if for
society, there are no barriers which have
proved effectual to keep her out In
travelling she secures the best seat, at ta-
bic d'hote the best service first come first
served is reversed in her case.
Strange as it may seem, the pushing
woman is not always disagreeable; if
she were, all her efforts would, perhaps,
come to naught. She may be vulgar, She
may be selfish, but she must be amiable
she must know something of human ma
ture, how to manage and cajole her
betters, when to push; she must not
remember sights; she must not re-
sent snubs, or at least not resent
them till she achieves success No
doubt in her own inner consciousness
pushing may seem very laudable in
dustry, and she may be inclined to ques-
tiOn if it is not as creditable as many |
other ambitions which the world has |
to believe heroic. There is, |
however, the woman who pushes boldly, |
who does not seek to disguise her war !
fare, and there is she who pushes subtly
and quietly and ably; the last is the artist
in her business, and it is perhaps almost
pleasure to be pushed by her, since her
ability more or less deserves the place
she demands. However we may appre-
ciate the pushing woman, her anxieties
and patience, we do not care to know
her; we would willingly avoid her So
ciety and cut her acquaintance if she
would allow it. And although she re-
sembles the heroine of a novel, and we
are amused by her difficulties, and her
interest and instruct us, still
we sympathize with her failures if we do
1ot approve of her success.-Harper's
